The new website must have a priority of striving to be ADA compliant.

    Questions & Answers

    Q (Project Budget): Does the City have an established budget range for this project? Understanding the anticipated investment will help vendors scope their proposals appropriately and avoid responses that are either over- or under-built relative to the City's expectations.

    A: The budget is not able to be disclosed at this time.


    Q (Website Redesign): I am in the process of submitting a proposal for the City of Meriden's website redesign. In order to draft an accurate proposal, I need to ask some questions. In addition to the design work required to create a new website, there are other factors to consider, such as hiring a professional photographer. Impactful images are essential for a positive user experience and a superior design. I can supply you with photographers, videographers, copywriters, SEO experts and much more. This is something to be discussed by phone or Zoom before I submit a proposal. Here is my information. I sincerely hope to hear from you.
